Here's what I've found on the SMITH, JEFFRIES, WOODS and GILLETT families, as they relate to this branch of the BLACK tree:

Christopher SMITH had a son:
James SMITH m. Magdalen WOODS in Wythe Co., VA in 1770. They had:
l. Nancy m. William JEFFRIES
2. Patsy m. Daniel JEFFRIES
3. James m. Lidy JEFFRIES
4. Edmond (b. 1 Feb. 1779, d. 15 Dec. 1848) m. June Ann FINLEY (b. 9 Nov. 1785 in Lincoln Co., KY, d. 12 May 1871 in Garrard Co., KY.)
5. Elizabeth m. Jay EVANS
6. Sarah m. William WATTS
7. William
8. John
9. Christopher
10. Lucinda m. Samuel BLACK
11. Polly
12. Henry (b. 20 May 1788 in Garrard Co., KY, d. 4 March 1851 in Los Angeles Co., CA) m. Harriett GILLETTE, Elizabeth GILLETTE, and Sarah GILLETTE.

My ggggrandparents are Patsy SMITH and Daniel JEFFRIES, and I have quite a bit of information on their descendants. They went from Barren, Garrard, and Metcalfe Cos. in KY to MO and to TX by 1827, where Henry SMITH became the first governor of TX. If anyone can connect to these families or give me any leads to information on them, I would be very appreciative.

Yours,

Linne Bowles Gravestock
